Oh, it will definitely backfire. The long-term consequences for the fascists in that scenario are absolutely apocalyptic and it will be their undoing if they do it. But it is a potential course of action.

Short of a recruitment drive that'll make the day after 9/11 look like a block party, they simply do not have the strength to rule by force. They don't have the enduring cult of personality to win that way. All their legitimacy comes from the Constitution, if they abandon it they condemn themselves.

You'd only need 150 ICE agents in 50 state capitals to hold the relevant state level bureaucrat's families at gunpoint for long enough to get them to give the order for canceling the election no matter how blue the state

This assumes the Democrats will actually perform oversight in opposition to the White House, though. It'd be a safe assumption to make in the days of yore. Now, though?

From what I've heard, Gemini was partially trained on GitHub commit comments, which means it absorbed the neuroses of a million programmers three Red Bulls deep and having an existential crisis.
Also, charge your phone.

Counterpoint: the videos I'm about to generate of Bambi performing ToS violations will be very valuable towards making the Mouse cry. They're gonna regret this decision, and I'll help make sure it happens.

"Like a girl" would probably be a step up from most of the code I maintain, which is "like dogshit"

Ironic that STEM is the Big Dick sector considering that compsci, the STEMiest STEM field, is the one that's quasi-famous for being a male dominated field with no dominant males in that field.

This assumes that modern NK aligns with Kim Il-Sung's vision at the onset of the war, and that conditions during and after the war didn't shape the direction NK took. The DPRK could've just been another post-Soviet state had the last 70 years gone different.

As a socialist myself, I personally think the mistake was making it a capitalism vs. communism fight instead of a freedom vs. authoritarianism one.

Alternate history where FDR didn't pick Truman as VP and the US didn't become a right wing capitalism superfan during the Cold War, leaving no fertile ground for Red Scare ideology to grow

The random acts of insurrection are not glamorous, but probably do more to interdict oppression than any large scale demonstration.

If the US was still a reliable partner, I'd be gouging Westminster's eyes out. But it's not, and the EU needs every scrap of GDP it can get. I can easily see a lot of formerly ironclad requirements handwaved and papered over to get that strength.

Thinking about it more, I'm actually not as confident. If I were an EU official suddenly needing to defend a two-front war against Moscow and DC, I'd be willing to cede a neighborhood in Berlin to South Korean sovereignty just to get an excuse to get their arms factories under our umbrella.

Now that the US is a Russian ally explicitly against the existence of the EU, I imagine EU leaders would be keen on getting as much strength back as possible. They'd probably be willing to entertain South Korea's entry if it meant more economic power for self defense.

The EU also has a vested interests in making Brexit as painful as possible so the UK can serve as an example for any other members who might consider leaving.
However, the EU also has need for every bit of strength it can get now that the US is a Russian ally.
